Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Legend Blasts Linebacker Devin White

Warren Sapp couldn't help but isolate Devin White when studying the tape from the team's embarrassing loss to the Houston Texans last week. He took to social media to air his grievances with the Bucs' linebacker.

Warren Sapp is one of the biggest, loudest, and most unapologetic players in the history of the NFL. 

He also happens to be a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and one of the greatest Tampa Bay Buccaneers of all time. As such, not only does Sapp follow the Bucs' performance on the field each week with a keen eye, but he's also unafraid to call players out whenever he sees an opportunity.

The most recent example of this was an isolated attack on a player who has received his fair share of criticism over the past couple of years: Devin White.

Sapp felt compelled to take to Instagram in order to highlight one play in particular which shows Devin White getting eaten up by a slot receiver (Noah Brown) on a run play from last week's embarrassing defeat at the hands of the Houston Texans. 

Sapp's analysis of the play is ultimately a comparison between the way he believes the game was played during his era, and how it's played today. 

"This right here would've been Hines War (circling the receiver), and this right here (pointing to Devin White) would've been called... JACKED UP."

After he's able to contain his laughter, Sapp says, "What are you doing son?" 

Sapp then takes a moment to analyze the play as a whole, and notes the impressive play made by Lavonte David to make a tackle on the ball carrier, "Great play on the back side by Mr. [Lavonte] David". 

But he can't help but draw his attention right back to Devin White. "But god almighty. Whenever they ask you what's the difference between our game and this? This play right here... This dude. C'mon 4-5." 

It appears as though some things never change.

Devin White continues to struggle with getting off blocks consistently, meanwhile, Warren Sapp just can't help himself from talking trash about other players.
